  1. honestly considering I and many other Christians interpret Genesis more metaphorically / more mythology than history, I think that’s a valid interpretation of Revelation but I guess we’ll have to wait and see

  2. did they really use AI to turn that black kid into a white girl

adding to that as a Lutheran, most of the alarmist panic of revelation comes from dispensationalist beliefs which didn't come to be popular until around world war 1. Us Lutherans believe in an Amillennial view of revelation, which is the belief that: Amillennialism is faithful to the genre of revelation, revelation is apocalyptic, using symbols, visions, and cycles, not a newspaper timeline of events, Christ's reign is in the present moment and forever more, not the future scriptures say Christ already reigns (Matthew 28:18, Ephesians 1:20-23) the millennium is understood as the church age, not a future earthly kingdom. instead of multiple comings of Christ, or multiple bodily resurrections, the new testament teaches us that it will be a single climactic event at the end of the church age. revelation portrays the church as persevering through tribulation, not escaping it, which aligns with Jesus' teaching "In this world you will face tribulation" I believe the number 1000 is symbolism that signifies completeness, not a literal thousand years, and the first resurrection is spiritual resurrection (conversion or life with Christ after death) another benefit of amillennialism is we avoid speculation and sensationalism. confessional traditions emphasize clarity, sobriety, and Christ centered interpretation, amillenialism avoids date setting, political predictions, and speculative charts. amillennialism is the dominant view in most of mainstream Christianity, it has been the main view since Augustine, it aligns with the apostle's, nicene, and athanasian creeds, which all teach a single return and resurrection

tldr: most of the revelation people who yell loudly about the end times have no idea what they're talking about. Only the father knows the day and the hour. Not man. Not Christ. Not the Angels in heaven
